Prairie Restoration

Sr. Colette Fahrner, SLW, directed retreats at LUREC between 1999 and 2007. She also worked to restore the landscape, including the prairie that a parishioner plowed and seeded with native plants. Sr. Colette weeded and burned the newly planted area.

Prairie Restoration

The prairie is an incredible resource at LUREC, supporting nearly sixty native plants. Caring for the prairie has been an extensive project involving students, staff and volunteers who collect and distribute seeds of native plants, clear invasive brush, and assist with controlled burns.
